There’s a bit of uncertainty surrounding Antonio Conte‘s position at Tottenham Hotspur.
Not only is the Italian’s contract expiring this summer, but Spurs’ results this calendar year have prompted suggestions that a parting of ways might not be too unrealistic.
Earlier today, Tim Sherwood suggested to talkSPORT – as covered by HITC Sport – that bringing Mauricio Pochettino back to Hotspur Way would be a doddle.
But are the Tottenham supporters behind Conte?
Well, they appeared to answer that question themselves tonight during the visit to Manchester City.
In the first half of this evening’s encounter, Sky Sports‘ man Peter Smith shares what was being chanted about the former Juventus manager.
He said: “We want Levy out, we want Levy out’, chant the Tottenham supporters… before a rendition of ‘Antonio, Antonio, Antonio…’ in support of their manager.”
Chairman Daniel Levy clearly isn’t too popular among Spurs fans right now, partially to do with the Lilywhites’ inactivity in the January transfer window.
But going by Smith’s reporting, the 53-year-old manager remains a firm favourite of the match-going fanbase.
Question is, is support from the fanbase going to be enough to keep the former Chelsea manager in North London.
This is famously quite a no-nonsense character and he might have designs on returning to Italy, particularly amid speculation about going back to Juventus.
But going by Tottenham’s first-half display away to the champions, Conte, whose side are winning 2-0 at the break, also has his players on side, too.
